Hey whats up Everyone?
Names Bryan,
From SF Bay Area, CA.
Just recently got a White/Burg 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo MKIII 7M-GTE Targa[my targa top is blue.. everything else... burg.. haaah...] in July of 2009 as my 2nd car, previous car was a 02 stratus, totalled it, Doh!
Currently Odometer reads 270k miles.. 140k miles on a rebuilt , so i was told by the last owner, who told me hed get me a side window because he already paid for it, since it was supposedly broken into couple days before, called him 2 weeks straight no answer.. ended up going to a pick n pull and gettin the window for 40 bucks.. anyways soooooo im not sure if i should trust that its a rebuilt bein that he lied to me bout gettin the window..
Other than that
But enjoying every moment driving my Supra.
Hopefully ill be able to meet up with some people from the Bay Area, CA who can help me out with gettin my MKIII straight.
Not much of a mechanic but do want to persue being able to fix my own car.. which i have already fixed a couple of issues that have been needing some attention.
As far as i know.. i still need the following to be fixed/repaired
1. Code 52 - Knock Sensor
-like i said not much of a mechanic, so dont want to just take everything thats in my way to the KS and mess something else up...
2. Brakes, just cleared my Anti-Lock light but the car still has issues coming to a hault. maybe new rotors and pads... will be using the forums as a resource for trouble shooting.
3. Usually after 20-30 min drive at the end im getting coolant spillage, ill take a look at the resevoir and its all the way up there.. and from what i read from different forums its a sign of a BHG, and will probably need one of my mechanic friends to help me out with getting that done.
4. Timing belt.
5. Not sure when the last owner changed the oil, but figure id be safe and have it done. and from what i was told.. once you go redline oil you have to stay redline? not sure, hopefully someone here can inform me.. thanks.
6. Running on 3 Falkens and 1 Michelin .. the rim with the michelin on it, the rim is all grinded.. also both front rims have dents in them.. not sure if i should just new rims and tires all around...
7. The Electronics - no radio, not sure if speakers are any good deck lighting is pretty low but then again last owner put in a custom deck.. soooo yeah..
dome lights not working for somereason.. i think there's an open in the wiring, trunk pop from the remote doesnt work.. driverside power lock button doesnt work correctly..
8. Looks.. paint, redo tint, mouldings, spoiler rattles right side mount is broken, interior, shift knob, targa top i think isnt formed corretly, e-brake cover is not attatched, power seat botton fell off last owner put a screw as a substitute[ lol ].. seats, flooring, just gotta square everything out..
9. Maybe new Tranny? havent hat too much of an issue with shifting..
now for the pics.. no interior pics at all... nor under hood pics nothin to flashy bout the engine right now.. all dirty no pretty.
i do got an Aftermarket air filter k&n and a blitz blow off valve, and also a aftermarket muffler, not sure which havent checked yet.
